This 37-year-old woman is facing child endangerment charges for allegedly having her 13-year-old daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of her minivan as it traveled along an interstate highway in Alabama. The woman, Jackie Knott, a Tyson Foods poultry processing facility worker, was pulled over by cops. She told the officers that the cardboard box was too big to fit in her minivan and therefore she had her daughter serve as a human paperweight to prevent the box from flying away. As as precaution, she had tied the box down with wire hangers. The cops weren't convinced by the woman's effort and therefore arrested her. Why she didn't just flatten the box to get it to fit in her car? That remains to be known, but I'm guessing it's because this woman is a stupid hick. [TheSmokingGun]
